If I assume you are speaking only of enabling PCMCIA, then this is the pertinent section of the Handbook:
| Installation handbook wrote: | Code Listing 13: Enabling PCMCIA support for 2.6 kernels
Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, EISA, MCA, ISA) --->
PCCARD (PCMCIA/CardBus) support --->
<*> PCCard (PCMCIA/CardBus) support
(select 16 bit if you need support for older PCMCIA cards. Most people want this.)
<*> 16-bit PCMCIA support
[*] 32-bit CardBus support
(select the relevant bridges below)
--- PC-card bridges
<*> CardBus yenta-compatible bridge support (NEW)
<*> Cirrus PD6729 compatible bridge support (NEW)
<*> i82092 compatible bridge support (NEW)
<*> i82365 compatible bridge support (NEW)
<*> Databook TCIC host bridge support (NEW)
|
You'll find most newer laptops only require the yenta-compatible support.
If you are interested in the smartcard reader, then you'll want to watch www.musclecard.com. Chances are you will see drivers for your reader there first. Support for them is still growing. |

| post the full results of lspci. I'm not quite sure what it is you are talking about, and that may help. If I understand you, your laptop has an integrated reader for 'memory sticks'? And what type of 'memory sticks' are they? SD card etc... |

Ok, based on the output of both, my guess is that the integrated Sony memory stick reader is the PCI device 06:03.3. I say 'guess' because I haven't actually configured one myself.
But I'm curious about the Genesys Logic USB 2.0 IDE Adapter reported by lsusb. Do you have something else plugged into your usb ports other than a mouse? The reason I ask, is that on my laptop, there is an optional internal bluetooth card that is connected through the USB system. I am trying to determine wheter that the USB IDE adapter is installed internally, or if it's something you have plugged into a port. |

I've scoured the forums and linux-laptops.org, and it looks like the memory stick reader may not be supported.
But the person who wrote this post: memory stick claimed success.
This person also claims success: Sony Laptop Memory Stick reader - how to?
The common theme seems to be proper filesystem support configuration in the kernel. Sorry I can't be of much more help. |
